Who Am I?

Today I was set of homework to write a paragraph about what makes me unique and who or what made me the person I am today.

When I was told this, I'm not going to lie, my heart sunk. There are a lot of pieces of homework which I've found extremely difficult, but this one is by far the hardest.

I can't ask people what makes me unique. I can't ask anyone else what made me who I am today. I've been asking myself the same question since this was set;

Who Am I?

Well, in all honestly, I don't know. I don't know who I am and having to write about myself (which, quite frankly, I can sometimes get very paranoid about) about a topic I know nothing about, well, I'm pretty stuck.

So, I have until Friday to not only find out who I am, but to decide what I'm prepared to share and put it into words.

So, throughout this week I'll be asking myself this question.



In the comments, tell me who you are. Tell me something happy or funny or maybe completely random about yourself. Then I'm getting to know you all a little better as well as getting to know myself too.

PS. I'm sorry for not uploading a blog post in a few days, I was busy and I was worried about starting school again. I'm back to uploading regularly again now! :)

Failed Photography (Summer Break 2015)

You're probably all bored of these by now.

These photographs to follow are the biggest failures that I took whilst I was away.

(I was going to post this one last but I thought I'd do my favourites last instead)

They did seriously fail.

See for yourself.

I thought that this would look really cute but it just looks really bad

This fail needs no caption

That blur though

I just didn't like how this one turned out basically



This just failed.

So did this.



Dear Mr Van, you had to drive past just as I was taking a photograph? Like, seriously?

See?

My point has been proven.

They failed.

Miserably.

Tumblr Photography Attempts - Part 2 (Summer Break 2015)

YES THERE IS MORE

I like photography, ok?

I know there's a lot..

There's two more after this one (THEY'RE DIFFERENT BY THE WAY) and then I'll be doing a (very late) couple of back to school posts because everyone is doing them.

(WHY ARE YOU REMINDING ME THAT SCHOOL STARTS SOON THAT IS NOT COOL)

You can probably tell that I'm really not looking forward to going back to school..

School sucks.

Why can't I be a full time watcher of YouTube or something?

I wish.

You all probably share my fantasy dreams.

I'm rambling again.

Sorry.

Enjoy the photos!

It's pink - I couldn't leave it unphotographed

It looked cute, alright??

I honestly spent a whole meal trying to take this picture IN FOCUS

You don't see roses like this every day. It's soo pretty

I don't even know..

It honestly looks like a face. On a butterfly.

I always think old fashioned lamp posts look amazing in photo's, agreed?

PS. I'll be uploading blog posts every day until (and including) Sunday, so make sure to stay tuned every day!

Tumblr Photography Attempts - Part 1 (Summer Break 2015)

More photos.

Shocker.

Yeah.. I took quite a few photos whilst I was away..

Take my word for it.

I tried to make them very cute and tumblr-y.

That's not even a word.

But I said it anyway.

Oops.

#SorryNotSorry

So, yeah.

I hope you like them and that you think that they didn't completely fail.

Who am I kidding, of course they failed..

 

I just thought they were cute, ok?

 

This reminded me of those really cute cobbled alleyways that you see online

Don't ask. Just don't.

The view from the restaurant at my hotel was just so cute, I couldn't resist taking this.

It really was a nice restaurant..

I just thought it looked photograph worthy alright?

This is only part 1.

You're probably getting more of my pretty random photography from my holiday.

I'm sorry if you are.

Comment below which picture you like the best and which one you think you'd fine on Tumblr!

(I will reply - I always do!)

Poolside Photography (Summer Break 2015)

You all probably remember that I recently went on holiday.

I did mention it in my previous post.

And the post before that.

And the one before that..

You get the idea; I've mentioned it a before.

Anyway, I took lots of photographs when I was away.

(When I say "lots", I mean lots)

And I thought I would share them with you.

Not all in one blog post, it would get very long and boring if I did that.

I've separated the best photographs into 4 blog posts.

And this is the first.

You can probably tell by the title (and the photographs below), these are the photographs I took of the pool or around the pool.

In the comments, tell me which is your favourite photograph and why. Mine is the one of the lemon at the bottom left hand corner because it stands out, even though it's half hidden by the leaf.

We Heart It.

I am truly and utterly obsessed.

My friend told me to search it and look at the pictures, and I instantly fell in love.

The photography I see on there is what I aspire to be able to do.

They're so gorgeous.

I'm going to keep the writing in this blog post to a minimum and instead show you some of my favourite pictures that I've seen. These have all earned a place on my blog because they have meaning behind them that is important to me in one way or another, see if you can find meaning behind them too (let me know in the comments).

In the comments, let me know what your favourite of the pictures below are and why, it'd be really nice to read all your thoughts on them.

Hello, World!

I've decided to start a blog.

This blog.

Why?

Have you ever gotten a drink to take away hot chocolate from Costa and it's so full that when you open it to put a few marshmallows on the top, it just goes everywhere? That's a bit like me. Except I'm not filled with hot chocolate with no room for marshmallows. I have lots of things inside that I kind of want to say but I just can't pluck up the courage to actually say it, especially when it includes starting a conversation.

I used to keep a diary for few years, not everyday just because I couldn't be bothered a lot of the time, and I stopped altogether around November, partly because I didn't want to remember what I was writing about during that time, and just because nobody was ever going to read it, and I rarely read it back myself unless I was long overdue a trip to the bookstore.

And so my blog came into existence. Because you're reading this.

I don't know particularly what I'm going to write about on here - just what I want, when I want and how I want - knowing that somebody will read this without worrying that somebody from my school will find out and judge me and I won't look silly to people I see a lot.

Exactly why I've decided to stay anonymous.

Just so I can be me without people knowing it's me.

And so, in my little corner of the internet, which you are now sharing with me by reading this, my name is Amerelle (this isn't my actual name, but this is how you can know me) and I'm just another quiet teenage girl.

One thing I can guarantee that you will find on my blog is photography. I don't know why I love photography, really, I just do. By taking a photograph, I'm saving a moment forever, instead of letting it fade to a distant memory, or being forgotten completely. Not photographs of me (If there were then it wouldn't exactly be anonymous!), I prefer to stay behind the camera when I can, and then you can see things that I've once seen in person.

And for some reason I really like the idea of you seeing everything that I've seen.

Ok, so I guess that's it. Thank you so much if you're reading this (if that's anybody at all!), I do appreciate it! Let me know one thing that you love in the comments below (if you love photography too then you'll be right at home on my blog).
